My first NSV

[StartingOver 6]

Okay, maybe not my first, but the first one that I am REALLY REALLY excited about. Today at lunch I walked to Old Navy and bought a cute pair of jeans and a pair of slacks in size 20. I haven't worn a size 20 for 7 years. Well, maybe I did--but I shouldn't have. I started my journey in a size 24 (which I shouldn't have either, but couldn't admit that I needed a size 26 or 28). On top of that, I have never bought anything at Old Navy 1. because the store opened when I was a teen, and didn't have anything over a size 12 back then, and 2. because I didn't think that they now sell anything bigger than an XL.

I'm starting to feel like the 50lbs I've lost is a reality. Oh yeah, and my mother called me today just to tell me how proud she is of me, and how great I'm looking. Of course, this was after she told me this morning that she just couldn't bring herself to ever tell me how REDICULOUSLY HUGE (her words) I was pre op. I wasn't mad though, she's right. I had let myself go.

Well, I'm back, and feelin' great!!! I love my band!

I had a first NSV today, but it's kinda wierd!! I was fixing a store bought chocolate cake that some icing had come off . It is for my future daughter in law's birthday today. After I put the cake away, I noticed that the box side had a huge slab of icing on it. I needed the box for the cake, so I took the knife and scrapped off that icing. and .......threw it down the garbage disposal, followed by hot water! I have never in my life thrown away icing, especially chocolate....it feels so good to be in better control!
